The People's Covenant of SECP is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Pater Noster with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 19.092 billion Yellowites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jericho City. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yellowite economy, worth a remarkable 4,793 trillion NEXIS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 251,068 NEXIS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SECP's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Mind of Nine.

SECP is ranked 11,863^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Democratic Republic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,429.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
